org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldAbstractDetector<FieldElevationDetector<T>,T>

org.orekit.propagation.events.FieldElevationDetector<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of the field elements

All Implemented Interfaces:

FieldEventDetector<T>

public class FieldElevationDetector<T extends org.hipparchus.CalculusFieldElement<T>>
extends FieldAbstractDetector<FieldElevationDetector<T>,T>

Finder for satellite raising/setting events that allows for the setting of azimuth and/or elevation bounds or a ground azimuth/elevation mask input. Each calculation be configured to use atmospheric refraction as well.

The default implementation behavior is to continue propagation at raising and to stop propagation at setting. This can be changed by calling FieldAbstractDetector.withHandler(FieldEventHandler) after construction.

FieldElevationDetector

public FieldElevationDetector(org.hipparchus.Field<T> field,
                              TopocentricFrame topo)

Creates an instance of Elevation detector based on passed in topocentric frame and the minimum elevation angle.

uses default values for maximal checking interval (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_MAXCHECK) and convergence threshold (FieldAbstractDetector.DEFAULT_THRESHOLD).

Parameters:

field - type of the elements

topo - reference to a topocentric model

FieldElevationDetector

public FieldElevationDetector(T maxCheck,
                              T threshold,
                              TopocentricFrame topo)

Creates an instance of Elevation detector based on passed in topocentric frame and overrides of default maximal checking interval and convergence threshold values.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximum checking interval (s)

threshold - maximum divergence threshold (s)

topo - reference to a topocentric model

                                 TopocentricFrame topo)

Protected constructor with full parameters.

This constructor is not public as users are expected to use the builder API with the various withXxx() methods to set up the instance in a readable manner without using a huge amount of parameters.

Parameters:

maxCheck - maximum checking interval

threshold - convergence threshold (s)

maxIter - maximum number of iterations in the event time search

handler - event handler to call at event occurrences

minElevation - minimum elevation in radians (rad)

mask - reference to elevation mask

refractionModel - reference to refraction model

topo - reference to a topocentric model

g

public T g(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s)

Compute the value of the switching function. This function measures the difference between the current elevation (and azimuth if necessary) and the reference mask or minimum value.
